Landing Page Optimization tips: analysis of 50+ sites to find out what increases sales and conversions
Last week I offered free conversion rate optimization advice on a popular forum (known as Hacker News). Within a single day I got 50+ requests for help. It was definitely an enriching experience analyzing and dissecting all those websites and landing pages. Four common issues with landing pages According to my analysis, one of these four issues (if not all) were the most common causes of poor conversion rates. Too-much text (without any apparent order and layout)Headline that doesn’t tell what your product or service does (or, in other words, tangential headline)Lack of a single prominent call-to-action (either there is none or there are too many)Lack of social proof or ROI proof (who uses the service and what are the benefits) Let’s analyze the issues one by one. Issue #1: Too much text Example of a homepage with too much text Example of a balanced webpage (text + images) So, what you need is a proper balance between graphics and text. Issue #2: Lack of descriptive headline Conclusion Tags

Step-By-Step Landing Page Copywriting Let me start by warning you: This is a long post. I want to take you through the process of writing and designing the ConvertKit sales page. As you’ll see, I had a huge amount of help from Amy Hoy. Throughout the process she gave great advice on copywriting that I’d like to share here. Besides, what’s better than an actual example? The short version The short version is a series of takeaways I learned throughout this process. Make your headlines speak to a pain your visitors have. Read through the post for the details on any of those points. From the beginning To start I opened Photoshop and started writing and designing at the same time. Initial feedback I sent that draft to Amy and received some great feedback. The most effective way to convert your visitors into customers.

Good. Right, me too.

3 Principles of a High Converting Lead Gen Landing Page If you don’t balance the expectations of your customers with what you’re giving away, you’re basically kissing your customers goodbye. (Original image source) You’re probably wondering why there’s a photo of a gymnast above. 1. Clearly the hurdle was too much in this case. One of the biggest factors in whether you’ll capture your lead is whether you are able to balance the size of the prize (what you’re giving away) with the perceived barrier to getting it. This is where A/B testing can come in really handy. 2. Now I’m not saying “make it look beautiful” – although it never hurts to look professional. The architecture of a great lead gen landing page This is really all you need on a lead gen landing page. The diagram above shows the elements that you need to use on your pages to communicate to your customers what and why they should convert. 1 & 3 are the ones that you really want to spend about 50% of your time on – especially the headline. 3. – Oli Gardner

Tomáš Pojeta | kreativní grafik Trends in Landing Page Design for Search Marketers Landing pages are critical to the success of search marketing and advertising campaigns. To ensure that the destination where consumers end up post-click presents the best opportunity for conversion, let's review three current landing page design trends. When you want to analyze what works best in landing page design, start with the most competitive terms. The keyword in focus for this review (and, of course, the landing pages that result) was "Tax Preparation" - the logic for that choice was the expected upcoming search volume for that keyword (see chart below). Six landing pages were reviewed for the similarities/differences that the design concepts had in common. There are three key trends that revealed themselves by comparing the landing pages - the presence of cost information, the presence of varying levels of trust signals and the presence of supporting navigation. Google Trends Graph for "Tax Preparation" Keyword over the past year:

It's Not My Job: Why Marketing is Broken - inShare163 I was in Moscow last week with Jeffrey, waiting in the lobby for a taxi. I passed the time taking screenshots of “promotional” emails and ads with their corresponding landing pages. After clicking through some ads and emails I needed to vent. Frustrated at the state of email marketing. If you went out to eat and saw the sign below on a door, what would you expect to see on the other side? What would you think of the place if when you opened that door you saw this: Would it give you second thoughts about eating there again? Yet, this happens all the time in email marketing, display advertising, ppc advertising, etc. Let me show you just a couple of examples from that day: Email from Beyond the Rack: What would you click on? Email from Marmot: Let’s assume you can even read the white on white text but decide to click on one of the product images. Register? Fantastic! Where are the nationwide flights for $114? This is not limited to just email marketing like I said earlier. 1. 2.

35 Beautiful Landing Page Design Examples to Drool Over [With Critiques A professionally designed landing page can improve your conversion rates.

Why I Used to Hate Landing Pages… In November 2004 I had my first real encounter with marketing. It was a horrible experience. At the time I came from the user experience (UX) crowd, indulging in usability, interaction design, information architecture and other such altruistic endeavours rooted in a desire to make the web work better for “the customer”. The marketing folks had an entirely different agenda with no real concern for anything but the bottom line. (Not wrong, just different from what I was used to). Landing pages should be designed with a ruthless attention to a single business goal. We were discussing ideas for a new campaign and how to integrate it into the corporate website. What I hated about the “landing page” The landing page was going to break rules I usually worked hard to uphold. My thinking: This will just lead to annoyed visitors and lots of attention being paid to the back button. Gather Round as I Admit to Being Wrong I don’t say “I’m wrong” all that often. Landing pages aren’t so bad – Oli Gardner

5 Landing Page Headline Formulas You Can Test Today You wouldn’t bake a chocolate soufflé for your mother-in-law’s birthday party without referring to a recipe, so why would you craft a headline that way? (Image source) Ever notice those “conversion copywriting” techniques you read about for ugly, hard-to-stomach long-form sales pages? When you implement those techniques, you end up with lengthy, nearly impossible to believe headlines, like this one: That’s great for niche info products. Great for diet pills and exercise DVDs. But it’s BAD for the products and services most of us are actually selling – like productivity apps, games, SaaS, consulting services, ebooks, quilts, clothes, hardware… the list goes on. Here’s the thing: the uber-long headline above isn’t necessarily wrong for short copy. So what if we were to take the best of long-form sales page copywriting… and tweak it for our 2.0 or short-copy landing pages? Sound like something you could stomach? What Needs to Be in a Headline? Before We Talk Formulas, Let’s Talk Formatting No.
